No gods, no masters, no HOAs. Canadian. Anarchofeminist. Old. Writer/illustrator/ecological designer, in between loads of laundry and fits of pique. **No AI** **No religious meme-spammers**
I joined in March, 2007.

Not a decision taken lightly but I will delete my account. Looking back through old posts now before it's gone.

Careful, though. Universal healthcare is suffering, and those who can pay for at least some of it on their own, and are suffering, will do so given the opportunity. It's a deliberate undermining of our expectations, to get us used to paying for healthcare.

As smart people have said, prep for Tuesday, not for doomsday. I've been doing this for years due to personal experiences. It's been very helpful.

During the pandemic lockdowns, my older child worked in a grocery store. A shopper mused aloud: who could have known? My child spoke up: My mom knew.

Yep, I'm just glad the husband and his fellow shop owners put their heads together and decided to handle this exactly the same way. It shows that the regulations were interpreted the same way by all the game shop owners and if one made a mistake, they all did. But it seems pretty straightforward.

My husband owns the local game store. He and all the other LGS owners he knows discussed the GST holiday with each other, because it was confusing at first trying to figure out what was still taxable. They figured it out together in the absence of clear authority. Hurray for community!

And immediately after I post this thread, I get some stockbroker following me. Blocked.

What part of "eat the rich" don't you understand?

(Ok it's probably better to compost them, really.)

I'm looking for mutuals who are truly progressive. Hoping for Canadians, but welcome all very progressive smart people.

I vet all my followers. Don't bother if all you post are blinky-light Jesus inspired right-wing memes. I don't owe anyone tolerance. I'm not that kind of lefty.

I'm an anarchist on the municipal level. Mutual aid is where it's at, as is removal of outdated bylaws/poor urban planning. Socialist in the wider scope. Level the playing field.

I'm trained as a landscape/ecological designer, artist, and writer but for years my family took immediate effort. 2/
